To finish the book, you have to consider working with the same dedication throughout. Your dedication might fluctuate, but don’t let anything hinder it from completing your book.

Never compare your work with others

Comparison often leads to distractions. It is always better to be the winner of your own race. Comparing yourself with other writers might lead you towards confusions and hopelessness. Every writer has their own style, following someone else’s will make your work slow and you might not be able to add your essence in it. Don’t do that! Make sure you don’t compare your work.

Use your time effectively

If you make time to complete the book, then you should also utilize that time effectively. Your work will not reach a good phase until you are willing to effectively proceed with the content. Don’t let distractions be your partner in here.

Partner with your writer friends

Partnering with your friends to complete the book is a great approach, this will not just speed up the writing process but also give you some unique ideas to work on.

Avoid burnout

Too much stress and over-thinking often leads you towards a burnout. Don’t let that happen. Once you get frustrated with your book, you are at a risk of losing it all. Burnout will make you demotivated and getting back on track will be difficult. To finish a book faster, whenever you feel stressed out, you should take a break, breathe out and get back on it. This is much needed!

Divert your mind

It is always great to divert your mind and focus on other elements that needs to be covered in the book. Be it your book design, formatting or just proof-reading the already written content. Its human nature, if you focus on one thing continuously, you get bored which is why switching to other elements might work.

Write at different locations

Locations like a quiet park or a seaside plays a key role in making your writing faster and effective. Some writers believe a quiet park does the job for them and some believe they require a desk in their room to get their things done. However, here it is believed, new locations give rise to new thoughts. You avoid monotonous thoughts striking your mind as you get fresh air to deal with, which automatically generates great ideas. Try this, if you haven’t!

Try working roughly on further chapters

Your book will be having a lot of chapters, isn’t it? It is always great to start working on the upcoming chapters. A rough outline will already speed up the process. You will know the next chapter is planned, all that needs to be done is the writing job.
